An Abstract on the Hubble Telescope

“classified Hubble as a Cassegrain reflector, who was among the first to suggest a basic optical design.”1 The Hubble space telescope was launched and deployed in April of 1990, which “marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo's telescope. Thanks to four servicing missions and more than 25 years of operation, the view of the universe and humanity's place within it has never been the same.” 2 In describing how

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was launched into low Earth orbit roughly 25 years ago to allow scientists and astronomers to peer into space. Since that day, Hubble – the largest and most versatile space telescope - has recorded some of the most detailed and awe-inspiring images (http://clapway.com/2015/08/27/hubble-space-telescope-butterfly-nebula123/), which have led to several breakthroughs in astrophysics.

The Hubble Space Telescope has been sent into space to take pictures of our universe. Hubble has made more than 1.2 million observations since its launch on 1990. The Hubble weighs 27,000 pounds. It does not travel, it just takes

Hubble’s revolutionary work includes finding a constant relationship between galaxies’ distance and redshift. This helped prove that the universe is expanding. He also created a classification system that was created for galaxies. The system he created is called the Hubble Sequence, which many researchers have used for the past decades.

The Accomplishments of Edwin hubble Have you ever wanted to study the stars and the universe? Well, Edwin Hubble did ,Edwin Hubble is a famous astronomer who played a crucial role in the field of extragalactic astronomy. He is known as the most Important observational Cosmologist the 20th century. He found out that the universe goes beyond the milky way and that the universe is expanding. This essay consists of the life, childhood, and accomplishments of Edwin Hubble (Wikipedia)

This program is being presented in over 750 planetariums around the world as part of the “International Year of Astronomy”. Basically, it has been four hundred years since Galileo Galilei invented the telescope and planetariums are celebrating the invention with this presentation. This program was well worth the time to see because it provided a relaxed and interesting learning experience for all in attendance.

The Hubble costs about 2.5 billion dollars to make. Also it has 6 cameras and sensors. It was launched in the honor of Edwin Hubble (also why the telescope was named after Edwin). As the telescope goes around in orbit with a light spectrum from the ultraviolet to near infrared it is able to take some very incredibly close and clear images. The telescope uses a digital camera to capture all of the great images and uses radio waves to send the pictures through air back to the Earth so we all are able to see what great things are happening outside of the Earth. With all of the information we get from the telescope we are able to stars being born and stars die. We are able to see galaxies that trillion miles away. It was able to see a comet pieces crash into gases above Jupiter. Also, we have been to discover moons that are around pluto that have never been able to see before. Additionally, we are able to understand how planets and galaxies form. We have so much information and have discovered so many new things from the Hubble Space

The Hubble telescope has found over 400 habitable planets in the known universe ( Space.com Staff. Web). The Hubble telescope has discovered that in almost any galaxy that has a star cluster at its center, will have a supermassive black hole ( Space.com Staff. Web). The Hubble discovered that dark energy takes up 74% of the combined mass energy in the universe and is the key to why the universe is expanding at a never ending rate ( Space.com Staff.

Space has fascinated the human race since the ancient times, from the Egyptians and Romans to now in present day astronomers. Ever since the first man touched down on the moon it was possible to explore other regions in Earth’s universe. The topic will be addressed through two different genres and they will express the differences and the similarities. Mike Wall’s article about Pluto will give insight on the planet and the documentary will give the insight on space through the Hubble

As Hubble probes deep into the universe, it has allowed us to see the past. Allowing us to figure out cosmic mysteries. In the orion nebula images have allowed us to see a new star as well as glowing disks that scientist believe will form into planet. It takes billions of year for us to see the light of cosmic objects as the light takes several light year to see. This allows scientist to look back in time.

The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most amazing machines in orbit right now. In 1946, an astrophysicist named Dr. Lyman Spitzer proposed that a telescope in space would reveal better and clearer images that are even far from earth than any ground telescope. This idea was very extravagant because no one had yet launched a rocket into outer space. As the US space program excelled quickly over the early years, Spitzer lobbied NASA and Congress to develop a space telescope. In 1975, the European Space Agency and NASA began to develop the telescope that would change astronomy for ever. In 1977, Congress approved funding for the development of the space telescope and NASA named Lockheed Martin Aerospace Company as the prime contractor

Edwin hubble invented the space telescope, he made some of the most important discoveries in modern astronomy. As an astronomer, Dr. Hubble was a late bloomer. Before discovering his passion for the stars, Dr. Hubble earned a law degree and served in World War I. 1373 Cincinnati, provisional designation 1935 QN, is an asteroid of the outer asteroid belt, approximately 20 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by the famous American astronomer Edwin Hubble at Mount Wilson Observatory on August 30, 1935. In his short paper, Hubble presented the observational evidence for one of science’s greatest discoveries the expanding universe. Hubble showed that galaxies are receding away from us with a velocity that is proportional to their distance

     Edwin Hubble’s curiosity about the universe started at youth and has grown. Without this, he would have no desire to study the stars or galaxies. Hubble’s interest in astronomy at the age of eight. On his eighth birthday party he spent the night with his grandfather star gazing (Freidman 16). When he was twelve years old he would ask his parents to seep outside and look at the stars at midnight with his friend Sam Shelton (18). His grandfather asked Hubble an astronomical question, and Hubble answered it so cleverly that his

As stated on nasa.gov, “Hubble has made more than 1.2 million observations since it’s missions began in 1990.” Hubble has also expanded astronomers knowledge about the universe and space as a whole. The most famous observation made by this telescope was that of galaxies beyond our own, Milky Way, and discovering that the universe is much larger than further predicted. Before this telescope, ground based telescopes could only see into our galaxy and could not reach any further. Therefore, it was thought that the Milky Way was the only galaxy included in space and the universe. Due to the fact, Hubble’s telescope, expands and allows for the study across a wider light spectrum, astronomers can see beyond further predicted. Another famous observation, studied by astronomers was that of the study of uncharted territories of the cosmos. As proposed on hubblesite.org, “It became increasingly clear to astronomers that Earth’s atmosphere distorted starlight, which made it difficult to obtain razor-sharp views of celestial objects. The idea of placing a telescope in space, above Earth’s turbulent air, had been kicked around for several years. But scientists pondered how to transport a telescope into space.” That was until, Hubble’s creation that displayed imagery of the cosmos. Once again it had accomplished a feat that had troubled ground based telescopes. In
